Copyright © ZCS (Zelei Csongor Oszlár). All rights reserved unless explicitly licensed below. All music, beats, instrumentals, loops, and audio works created and distributed by ZCS remain the intellectual property of the producer unless otherwise stated in writing. All license sales are final and become effective upon successful payment.
Certain tracks released by ZCS may be marked as FREE TO USE under this license. This license allows creators to use eligible ZCS tracks free of charge under the following conditions.
You may use the music for:
Monetization of your content through ad revenue, donations, memberships, or subscriptions is allowed as long as the music itself is not being sold or redistributed.
You must always credit the original producer. Use the following format:
Credit must be visible in at least one of the following:
This free license does NOT cover large-scale commercial use. A separate commercial license is required for:
If you want to use ZCS music commercially, contact ZCS directly to negotiate a custom license based on project scale, production budget, expected reach, and usage type.
The following actions are strictly prohibited:
ZCS retains 100% ownership and copyright of the original work.
Remixes are allowed only under these conditions:
Beats designated with a "FREE" label are primarily intended for commercial sale. Usage of these tracks does NOT grant the right to officially distribute or release your song on commercial streaming platforms, including but not limited to Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer. If you intend to monetize or commercially distribute a song using this beat, you are REQUIRED to purchase a valid license from the ZCS webshop. Pricing and licensing terms can be found below or directly in the store.
Unless stated otherwise, all beats sold by ZCS are protected under the licensing system below. Purchasing a beat grants a license to use, not ownership of the beat itself. All rights remain with ZCS, except where explicitly transferred in writing.
Instrumental Version and Distribution Rights:
The original instrumental version (beat) remains part of the official ZCS catalog at all times. All rights related to the distribution, release, and exploitation of the original instrumental work are retained by ZCS. The Basic, Premium, Unlimited, and Exclusive Licenses grant the purchaser only the rights to use the beat according to the applicable license terms. None of these licenses transfer ownership of the instrumental work or restrict ZCS's right to distribute, release, or make the original instrumental version available through ZCS's official artist profiles, streaming platforms, or other authorized channels.
The Exclusive License only removes the beat from future commercial licensing and sales through the ZCS Beat Store. It does not remove the original instrumental work from the ZCS catalog or prevent ZCS from distributing the instrumental version unless otherwise agreed in a separate written agreement. Any exception to these terms must be explicitly agreed upon in writing by both parties.
This is NOT a full copyright buyout. Even under exclusive licensing:
For exclusive releases, ZCS is entitled to:
Royalty structure may vary for indie artists, labels, commercial productions, and major releases.
The Exclusive License only removes the beat from future commercial licensing and sales. The original instrumental work may remain available as part of the official ZCS catalog.
A full buyout transfers substantially all rights to the buyer. This requires:
ZCS does not normally offer full buyouts.
Upon reaching the applicable streaming limit, this License SHALL NOT automatically renew or extend. Any further commercial use of the beat requires either a LICENSE UPGRADE or the purchase of a NEW LICENSE from ZCS, subject to availability.
ZCS may display on a beat's product page whether the instrumental has been previously licensed and which license type(s) have been sold (Basic, Premium, Unlimited or Exclusive). The identity and personal information of previous license holders shall remain strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties. The purchase of an Exclusive License does not invalidate or terminate any previously granted Basic or Premium Licenses. Such licenses shall remain valid solely in accordance with the original terms, limitations, and usage rights granted at the time of purchase. If a Basic or Premium License holder reaches any applicable streaming, performance, or other usage limit after the beat has been sold under an Exclusive License, the license may not be renewed, upgraded, or extended. The previously granted license shall remain valid only within the original scope of rights granted under that agreement. Following the sale of an Exclusive License, ZCS will not issue any new Basic, Premium, Unlimited, or other non-exclusive commercial licenses for that instrumental unless otherwise agreed upon in a separate written agreement. The holder of an Exclusive License shall not be responsible for the activities, streaming figures, performances, or any other commercial use carried out under licenses that were lawfully granted prior to the Exclusive License sale.
For commercial licensing, custom beats, exclusive rights, copyright issues, or disputes — contact ZCS directly through official channels.
